Default Stock ride height? Help?

Hey guys,

I need some help. I have a feeling that my F4i is lowered. Igot it second hand, so I don't know if the original owner did it.Here is my reasoning. My kick stand has been cut and re-welded and the lean angle of the bike is much greater than stock. Also, I think the back end looks low. How could I figure out stock hight and set up? Anyone have any suggestions? Could the side shock link plates be replaced? Any help would be appreciated.

-Josh

Take a picture of your rear shock/spring assembly and the top of your front forks.

look at your front forks and see how much of the fork sticks up over the clip ons. if there's only like 2mm of fork showing, front has not been lowered. if it's more, like an inch, front has been lowered.

rear you'll need to show us a pix unless you know what a lowering dog bone looks like.

Ok, so I know this has taken me forever, but I finally took pics of my shock linkage. Do you guys think it has been lowered?

Thanks

there's your problem, somebody stole your remote resovoir and left you an empty can of redbull. there's no way that empty can is going to hold any pressure.

but seriously,I compared that too mine, and it looks right to me

Maybe the kickstand broke somehow and that's why it's been re welded. I imagine it'shard to break one though.
